Nottinghamshire County Council had said they would not comment on individual cases, but this afternoon, Thursday, August 13, the chairman of the independent Nottinghamshire Safeguarding Children Board, Chris Few, admitted:“Following the sad death of Amber Peat in June of this year, the Nottinghamshire Safeguarding Children Board is conducting a serious case review.

“The review will look at whether anything can be learned from this tragic event which could lead to improvements in the way that agencies work together to protect children in Nottinghamshire.”

Amber was found hanged in a hedgerow three days after she stormed out of her home on Saturday, May 30.

Police said there were no suspicious circumstances surrounding the cause of her death.
